Summer Lake Headquarters Ultraviolet Light Purification of Drinking Water

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife (ODFW) is seeking bids for a comprehensive ultraviolet (UV) microbiological water treatment system installation at the Summer Lake Headquarters. The procurement is for an inline UV disinfection system designed to treat microbiologically contaminated water while meeting all public health standards. Specific requirements include installing a cyst reduction apparatus upstream of the UV system, with the project targeting a water system that currently serves 15 structures and has a flow rate of 40 GPM at 39 PSI operating pressure. Bidders must be registered in OregonBuys and submit their proposals by November 26, 2024, at 3:00 PM through the state's procurement platform. The project must be completed by the end of December 2024, with potential for extension, and requires the successful vendor to supply, install, and test the UV water treatment system compatible with the existing infrastructure. The water system serves a facility that uses up to 2,000,000 gallons of water annually and currently lacks sediment filtration. Pricing must be held firm for 30 days, and the system must be compatible with the existing spring box, 30,000-gallon storage tank, and distribution network.

The solicitation does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations, though vendors are asked to indicate if they are a Certified Firm through Oregon's Certification Office for Business Inclusion and Diversity (COBID) program. No incumbent vendors are identified in the documentation, and no specific budget range or award value is provided. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the technical specifications for the UV water treatment system. ODFW will provide access to the spring box and installation area drawings, with the contractor responsible for system procurement, installation, and post-installation testing. The state will require the vendor to demonstrate compatibility with existing water system parameters, including the 40 GPM flow rate and 39 PSI operating pressure. While no specific financial thresholds are detailed, vendors must be prepared to provide a comprehensive solution that addresses the site's specific water treatment needs, including potential cyst reduction requirements and integration with the current water infrastructure.
